Story

Joey is fostered in Ashland, WI Joey is an affectionate, people-oriented dog who truly thrives on structure, routine, and consistency. When he knows what to expect, he shines and his eagerness to please makes him a joy to work with. Joey is highly intelligent and picks up new skills quickly, especially when positive reinforcement is involved. Making his people happy is what motivates him most. Joey arrived from a nearby shelter. He is a male Australian Shepherd mix with a gorgeous tail. He is estimated to be approximately 6 months old and currently weighing about 40-45 lbs. We believe there is some Border Collie in there too! If you have not done your research on Aussies and Border Collies, they require a minimum of 2-3 hours PER DAY of mental and physical stimulation. Please do your research before commiting to this breed. Joey is both dog and cat friendly and does wonderfully with adults and children of all ages. He is a classic “velcro dog,” forming strong bonds with his humans and preferring to stay close rather than wander off on his own. His loyalty and connection to his people are some of his most endearing traits. With a higher energy level, Joey benefits from daily exercise and mental enrichment to keep him happy and balanced. He is naturally curious and may be a little hesitant in new situations at first, but with gentle guidance and time, his confidence builds quickly. Joey is kennel trained—he will kennel up on cue, lie down, sleep, and eat his meals there although bedtime in the kennel isn’t his favorite. He is 100% potty trained when kept on a consistent routine. He is still working on foundational training, but he already knows “sit” and “lie down” and is eager to continue learning. Grooming is a breeze with Joey. He sits patiently for brushing, nail trims, and other routine care, making him easy to maintain and handle. With the right structure, positive reinforcement, and an active home, Joey is set up to thrive. He’s a loving, intelligent companion who will reward his people with unwavering loyalty and a whole lot of heart. Joey is neutered, up-to-date on all vaccinations, heartworm negative, microchipped and receiving monthly preventatives for fleas, ticks and heartworms. Proof of heartworm prevention for any current or previous pets is required to adopt from our organization. For more information on our adoption process or to complete an adoption application, please visit our website at www.MidwestAustralianShepherdRescue.org. NOTE: All of our dogs live in foster homes with volunteers so we need an approved application on file to set up a meet with a dog you might have an interest in. Please visit our website for more information on our adoption process, our adoption fees and a link to our adoption application. We pride ourselves on matches that work for both the dog and your family. MASR is here for your support, advice and safety net for our dogs for the remainder of their lives. www.MidwestAustralianShepherdRescue.org ##2604899##

Story

This handsome fellow and his siblings came in to rescue last winter after they were dumped on a back country road. Their mother was found deceased, so we took the puppies in to try to save them. They were very sick initially but are very healthy now. Big boy is a gentle boy but does love to run and play with other dogs. Big boy was the largest of the puppies, but his siblings have caught up to him. He has done amazing with his house and crate training. He is so deserving of a wonderful home to call his own. He is fostered in East TN, but transportation is included in the adoption fee and provided by Rescue Riders LLC. Please let me know if you have any questions. Please email us for the link to the adoption application (His adoption fee is only to cover transport and health certificate to travel to another state.)

Bayne

Australian Shepherd

Male, Adult

Normal, IL

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Story

Bayne is a 2-year-old Australian Shepherd mix weighing about 48 pounds who came to us as a stray with his brother, Zayne. While we don’t know much about his past, Bayne has shown himself to be a friendly, happy-go-lucky guy. He’s a little more reserved than his brother at first, but once he’s comfortable, Bayne is social, affectionate, and happy to be part of whatever’s going on. One of his most charming traits is his silly toothy grin. When Bayne is feeling good, he flashes a big smile that’s impossible not to love. Bayne enjoys the company of his brother, but he does not need to be adopted with Zayne. He'd likely love a canine companion in his future home. With his kind personality and lovable smile, Bayne is sure to win hearts wherever he goes. His minimum adoption fee is $300 plus a $15 fee, if 4 months or older, for rabies registration for McLean County residents. He has been neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.

Story

Zayne is a 2-year-old Australian Shepherd mix weighing about 38 pounds who was found as a stray with his brother, Bayne. While their early story is a mystery, Zayne is very much an open book when it comes to affection and joy. He’s the confident brother, greeting the world with a happy tail and a big heart. Zayne is extremely friendly, outgoing, and eager to soak up all the attention he can get. If you’re looking for a dog who believes there is no such thing as too much love, Zayne is your guy. He’s always ready for pets, praise, and companionship. Zayne enjoys having his brother around and clearly values canine companionship, but he does not need to be adopted with Bayne. He'd likely love to have a canine companion in his future home. He would do well in a home ready to embrace his affectionate, social personality and give him plenty of love in return. Zayne is the kind of dog who makes fast friends and fills a home with happiness. His minimum adoption fee is $300 plus a $15 fee, if 4 months or older, for rabies registration for McLean County residents. He has been neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.
